Count the Bad Mommies

Introducing Neen

If you've read myblog for any length of time, you'd know the good, the bad and the ugly about me, but here are 3 things you might not know: a) I recently chopped all my hair off. I had waist-length hair for about 10 years, and long hair for another 10. I got sick of it and had it hacked. I'm fairly happy with it. Most days. b) Most of the time, I feel like an imposter at everything: motherhood, my job and being a grown-up. c) I wish I could write for a living. It would be a dream come true.

3. Some things you don't know about my kids:

a) I've assigned really odd nicknames to them all: James: Bubby; Hannah: Whirly; Jonah: Woolies. They all mean something special. b) James is something of a maths and English prodigy. He surprises me sometimes. c) Jonah is a mini-me.

4. Quote/saying that best describes the way I feel about being a mommy:

I'll quote myself: "Mommies are people too".

5. My Famous Mommy Role Model:

There's a famous mommy role model out there?

6. If I could have one wish granted for my kids, it would be:

to grow up confident and secure in who they are. Unlike their silly mommy.
